Hi Ken, all,

Could this be worked around by having EB save the list of installed R
packages + versions (like `pip freeze`) upon first install, then re-use
the saved list if available.
Something along these lines (pseudo-code):
package_list_file = easyconfig_file_name.replace('.eb', '.pkglist.csv')
if not exists(package_list_file):
# 1. install packages by name, let R choose version
# 2. dump list of installed packages to file: (pkgname, version)
else:
# 1. read in the pkglist.csv file
# 2. use R's install_version() to install the exact same pkg and
version
Ciao,
R
